Hey,

Expecting first baby in a few months and we do not know the sex.

DP and I can only agree on girls names and have our top 3 sorted.

As for boys names we have a few that we like but don't love.

Please say your favourite girls and boys names from our list (feel free to suggest boys names)

Willow
Poppy
Isla

Theo
Jacob
Hugo
Loui
Hudson
Harvey
Austin
Beau (surname begins with a B though)

I like Willow and Poppy, not a big fan of Isla but I don’t dislike it either

I really like Jacob. Hugo, Austin and Harvey are ok.

I don’t like Louis even when it’s spelled properly, but really not when it’s spelled Loui

I really don’t like Theo, especially if you like somewhere it’ll be pronounced Fe-oh

Hudson and Beau sound very American and I don’t like them

Logan is a good suggestion.
You seem to like surname names.
Mason
Tyler
Kingsley
Carter
Todd

Girls in order - Poppy, Willow, Isla

From your boys list, I like Theo and Hugo

Other boy names - Rory, Leo, Oscar, Luca, Milo, Logan, Dylan, Evan

MikeUniformMike · 30/01/2019 12:54

Willow - ok but a bit of a name I'd give a pet
Poppy - I like it
Isla - too popular

Theo - too popular. Lots and lots of Theos and Theodores and I don't like Theodore
Jacob - nice
Hugo - nice
Loui - Louis is nice, Loui isn't
Hudson - not keen. It's a river.
Harvey - I like it
Austin - not sure
Beau (surname begins with a B though) - awful

Willow and Jacob for me!
Isla is very popular now. Louis is nice.
